These last few weeks at my new job have been a revelation in terms of just how a workplace is supposed to function. I never cease to be amazed by these truly humble, caring, hard-working people that I now call my comrades. I have been embraced as one of their own. My Higher Power has given me such a blessing in this job.
Now, I will readily admit, when working on the floor, pushing a med cart, doing treatments, etc, this is a far more physically stressful job than anything I have ever known since being a dishwasher at Cracker Barrel when I was 16. When I am training in the supervisory role, however, it is far more mentally stressful, but physically a breeze. What is not present, however, is all the emotional baggage that came with the last job.
My life, in general, is doing far better than it was a month ago. School is now coming to a close, and all I lack is this massive paper than I am freaking late on writing, and doing a presentation next week. It is possible that I may get A's in each of my classes this semester.
My fiance and I are doing very well. Life is beautiful, indeed.
About Me
- Chris
- I am a grateful recovering sex addict and alcoholic. I am loving, caring, and at times intellectually engaging (note the qualifier "at times"). Meaning in my life is quantified by how deeply and passionately I love others, and my daily commitment to "be peace" in the world around me. I believe that the violence and injustice in the world is but a reflection of the violence and instability in our minds. One day at a time I do my best to accept life on life's terms, and to be a "human being" rather than a "human doing."

I have been to some SLAA meetings and would have kept going had I not moved to another country. well, truth be told, at times I felt the meetings were making me identify with the probelm even more. notice I said "at times" , taking a page out of your play book.
